Beer tray mod, my style......... 2.0

[stopintime]

New version page 3

Finally finished it - a lot of hassle since I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

I wanted to keep some protection and most of the size for visual effect - being a big guy on a chopped bike looks even more out of proportion IMO.

Cut the plastic, new turn signal holes, smooth the edges, prime, paint, stickers, clear coat.
Sounds easy, but for me it wasn't
I cracked the paint once and had to do it again, I applied too much paint and had to wait two weeks before it hardened, I snapped a bolt and had to zip tie one corner.

LED Tag Bolts from Custom Dynamics.
Aluminum plate holder, DP part
Stripes (reduced width) from Ducati1
Will add gel domed sticker later.

So here goes What do you think?

First color matched tray I've seen. Better than stock. Looks good. 


Nice alternative for guys who don't want to chop.

Looks like factory kit. 

Well done!

+1 looks really good.

Kudo's man.  Looks *really* good.  I like the stripe, the signal mounts, and the attention to detail. 

Again...  REALLY nicely done!

It's as if it were bound to happen... by being a member of a crowd that doesn't follow the crowd; you broke from that crowd set your bike apart. Nicely done!

Guys - thank you so very much for the comments 

Yes, the pictures are out of focus - I forgot to switch back from macro and/or no flash = long exposure = unstable (hides the tiny imperfections though)
The stripes look a bit off, but that's mostly a photo issue.

It was a PITA job, not really knowing how to do it. It helped having a clear idea of how I wanted the end result to be.
If I had to do it again, I wouldn't - too much hassle. The carbon fibre no-chop tray will replace this one if I need a change.

But, as usual, it's a good feeling to make something unique with one's own mind and hands
